Seriously what is the best name in crypto? Bitcoin? Nah we just got used to it.

It is probably Monero.

Well I can understand that someone would think that "please send me 5 moneros" works well in general and even for the general public if they associate it with "money" or "euro".

I believe many USA persons would say it sounds Mexican and you want some tacos or chalupas. They may even think of lowrider cars and other "sleazier" side of culture of the USA. I mean it doesn't likely connote high-tech. It sounds more cultural than technology.

Also for me personally Monero was a better name before their community started Moanerring in every thread. They ruined it for me. Whether their facts were true or not, the issue from my perspective was the apparent anal need to always be in control. They weren't comfortable with letting other people do their own thing and then the free market sort it out.

Any way back on the name without considering the impact of the community on a name's reputation, I just asked my gf what monero means to her. She said nothing. She didn't associate it with money nor with euro.

Now in Europe maybe Monero gets some association with money given the Euro?

I think perhaps you all were thinking that "Mone" associates with "money". But the "ero" can dominate since it is more striking, thus what does "mon" associate with?
